This year's Spring Break was pretty quiet overall. Dennis couldn't take off work because of various other vacations this year…a Europe trip he has in May, a trip to Indy he goes to every August, the beach in July and then we are surprising the kids with a Disney trip in Novemeber (Shhh…don't tell, we aren't going to tell them until right before we go).
So, it was really just me and the kids. Monday, we went to the library to pick up some good books for the week.
Tuesday, we took them to Ticonderoga Farms in Chantilly and we really had the BEST day. The weather was great and there was so much to do. We took a hay ride, which went through a swamp, the kids couldn't believe it! They did some slides down a hill, jumped on some huge bounce pillows, raced some carts, went through a maze and we saw some animals. Leah is really my only animal lover. She absolutely loved trying to feed the animals. She also kept talking to them…"Hi goat, what are you doing?" Logan, who likes animals the least, spent the whole time far away in the stroller!
Because the kids were so good, I also treated them to ice cream!
Wednesday night, we drove up to Holly's house in Maryland and spent the night. We got up the next morning and went in to Baltimore with Holly's family and my parents. We spent the day at the aquarium, having a nice lunch and walking along the harbor, we also watched a street performance with was great.
The rest of the vacation was just spent hanging out at home and outside too!
Oh, we also moved Leah to her big girl bed! I was so sad to get rid of the crib. She probably could have fit in it another year, but we decided to move her the same time we did the boys, because we knew we didn't have any issues with the transition with them at that age. Sure enough, she did great too. She was a little nervous when we turned the lights off, but I gave her her lovie and asked if she wanted Minnie Mouse and then she was fine. I can't believe we are saying goodbye to a nursery set we have had for 10 years! I don't think being done with the baby stage will ever be easy:-(.
